Born in Colorado, Scott Takeda got his start in television in 1990 as a TV news reporter in Pocatello, Idaho (KIDK). As his career grew, he then moved on to newsrooms in Ohio (WTOL), Denver (KCNC), and finally Philadelphia (WPHL) where he worked behind the camera as a producer-photojournalist. During his time as a TV journalist, he won two regional Emmy awards and two "Photographer of the Year" titles.

In 1995, he joined the staff of "News-for-Kids" and spent three seasons producing segments for the Emmy-award winning syndicated children's show. During that time, he also formed his own production company, producing the documentary film "The Holocaust: Colorado Remembers." With his company, Scott has won four additional Emmys, more than thirty national Telly Awards and the international Gold WorldMedal from the New York Festivals TV Film Awards. His client list includes Buick GMC, Eli Lilly, Proctor and Gamble, and MSN.

In 2001, he made his national acting debut as Sgt. Tai Lee in the Animal Planet series "Busted."

He now splits his time between LA and Colorado, working on both sides of the camera as an actor-director.
